- Executive summary:
A study was performed according to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.8, OECD TG 107 and OPPTS Guideline 830.7550 in order to determine the partition coefficient of the test item by using the shake flash method. The calibration solutions were prepared in 1 – 100 μg/mL range. The calibration samples were analysed by HPLC-UV method with three replicate injections from each. The concentrations were measured for the following ratios of n-octanol : water: 10:1, 20:1 and 5:1. The mean partition coefficient log Pow of the test item was determined to be -3.32 (Pow = 0.0005).
